Dedicato a tutti quelle che ‘io non installo Linux perchè non posso nemmeno giocarci’
Il progetto PlayDeb non è nient’altro che un repository di giochi per la distribuzione Ubuntu.
Installare giochi su Ubuntu non è mai stato cosi facile! Finalmente un repository creato a posta per i giocatori, e non solo.
L'obbiettivo del nuovo repository Playdeb, è di rendere ancora più facile l'istallazione di giochi che è già possibile trovare su Getdeb.net la cui pecca è però la necessità di installare manualmente i pacchetti scaricati non disponendo di un proprio repository.
Si può scegliere due modi per usufruire di questa opportunità. Per gli utenti più pratici, basta aggiungere il la riga relativa al repository al file di configurazione "/etc/apt/sources.list", mentre per i meno esperti il tutto è pacchettizzato. Dal sito di Playdeb si scarica il pacchetto apturl, che è indispensabile, e il gioco è fatto!
Il nuovo progetto è ancora in versione beta (estetica del portale compresa); il repository, costruito attorno ad Ubuntu Hardy, non è ancora "perfetto", la lista giochi incompleta e il sito sovraccaricato per dirne alcune. Il lavoro è ancora molto ma possiamo ben sperare.
1. Preparing The System For Playdeb
Vai su http://www.playdeb.net, clicca su apturl package e installalo.
Questo pacchettoè necessario per installare i giochi direttamente dal sito di PlayDeb.
Seleziona “Open wish GDepi Package installer” (di default) sulla finestra di firefox.
Se visualizzi questo messaggio :”An older version is available in a software channel” clicca su close e ignora tranquilamente.
Ora clicca su “install Package” e installare apturl:
A questo punto installiamo “playdeb package” seguedo la stessa procera fatta per apturl.
Ora possiamo iniziare ad installare giochi dal repository di Playdeb.
2. Intallazione dei Games
Ci sono 2 modi per installare i giochi usando Playdeb. Il primo direttamente dal sito e il secondo usando Synaptic Package Manager.
2.1 installazione dei giochi usando Playdeb Web Site
